Etwas enttäuschend, da Zimmer mit Fenster zu winzigem Innenhof. Nicht schön.
Pros:

Frühstück war gut, Zimmer war sehr trist. Wenn man hier übernachten möchte, dann auf alle Geld für Meerblick ausgeben. Sonst ist es etwas deprimierend.

The family were warm and accommodating and the breakfast was DELICIOUS!

Pros:

Відмінне розташування. Дуже доброзичлива пара господарів. Гарні сніданки. Господарі завжди цікавилися як минає відпочинок, чи все у нас добре, на всі наші прохання реагували 👍 і допомагали. Всі наші три номери були добре розташовані. Номери з видом на сад це гарний вибір, свіже повітря і красива зелень, і не так багато шуму від транспорту

Accoglienza, sorriso e posizione strategica.
Pros:

La posizione strategica: di fronte al mare, sia lido che spiaggia libera e di fronte alla fermata dell'autobus. La totale assenza di barriere architettoniche.
La colazione ottima e abbondante, con torte di vario genere, cornetti, biscotti, muffin, tutto preparato da loro. Si poteva anche fare la colazione salata con toast, formaggio, affettati, uova sode, pomodori e cetrioli; poi tutte le bevande possibili.
La gentilezza dell'intero personale. I proprietari, il signor Angelo al lido e la signora Angela in hotel; il sorriso della signora Agnese nella sala della colazione ci faceva iniziare benissimo la giornata, la simpatia del signor Massimo nei turni notturni alla reception, ce la faceva terminare in bellezza; Giovanna, Mimmo e tutti gli altri che incontravamo durante la giornata, ci hanno dato tutte le attenzioni.
Aria condizionata confortante, struttura familiare e accogliente.

Cons:

Abbiamo segnalato il malfunzionamento di una presa nella stanza e il frigorifero che faceva condensa

Napewno wrócę.
Pros:

Lokalizacja hotelu jest znakomita. Przed hotelem plaża ogólniedostępna i przystanek autobusowy pod nosem. To po pierwsze. Dodatkowo ilość kawiarni i restauracyjek tak duża, że spokojnie można było znaleźć takie, w których poczuliśmy "klimat".

Cons:
